Winter Hill Golf Club, Berkshire

Enhancements to irrigation system

Winter Hill is a truly magnificent golf club owned and managed by the John Lewis Partnership. The golf club was the dream child of John Spedan Lewis, the founder of the Partnership. Discovering Winter Hill for the first time is like uncovering a hidden treasure. Built on fast-draining terrain, it boasts exceptional views over Cookham, the River Thames and the famous Cliveden.

MJ Abbott secured the contract to install new tee irrigation and a water storage tank at Winter Hill Golf Club on a design and build basis. Since this initial phase of work, MJ Abbott has been retained to continue to enhance the existing system as budget allows.

The scope of work included:

130m³ Vulcan water storage tank

Installation of tee irrigation

Extension of greens and fairways watering

Alterations to the controller, control system and pump station to improve system performance
